DEHUMIDIFIER USE

Setting the Controls

Control Panel

NOTE:

• The control panel of your model may differ from the one shown above.

Starting/ Stopping the Dehumidifier

Warning

The dehumidifier should be upright for at least 2 hours before use.

Note

• Before turning on the dehumidifier, be sure that the bucket is empty and fits all the way into the dehumidifier.
• Each time you unplug the dehumidifier or power is interrupted, the controls will return to the previous settings when power is restored.
• Humidity displayed is between 30% Relative Humidity and 90% Relative Humidity.
• Humidity can be set between 30% Relative Humidity and 80% Relative Humidity.
• It's important to set the desired humidity level to an achievable setting. To ensure energy- efficient operation, only use the dehumidifier in a closed space, with no open windows or other sources of moist air (to avoid continuous running).
• Operating temperature is between 38ºF to 90ºF (3.2ºC to 32.2ºC).

At temperatures of 38ºF(3.2ºC) or less, water freezes inside the product. At temperatures over 90ºF(32.2ºC), the internal temperature of the product trips a protective device which deactivates the product to avoid product damage.

• The compressor has a 3-minute delay before restarting. If the product is stopped and immediately restarted, to protect the compressor there is a 3-minute delay until the compressor restarts.
• When the dehumidifier is operating, the indoor temperature will rise. The dehumidifier does not have a cooling /heating function. Heat is generated during operation, so the room temperature may be increased by about 6ºF(3ºC) depending on the usage conditions (indoor temperature, size of the room).

1. Plug into a grounded three-prong outlet.
2. Press POWER to turn on the dehumidifier.
3. Press FAN to choose the fan speed.
4. Press MODE to choose the mode.
5. Press the plus or minus button to set the level of humidity.
6. Press POWER to turn off the dehumidifier.

Fan Speed

1. Press FAN to select fan speed.
2. Choose LOW, HIGH or AUTO.

• LOW-Reach the desired humidity setting with lower sound level.
• HIGH-Will more quickly reach the desired humidity setting.
• AUTO-Achieves set humidity at normal speed.

NOTE:

Once the humidity set point is reached, the dehumidifier will stop running continuously, and the fan will be off periodically.

The fan may periodically turn on, to read the humidity level, without the compressor running.

Desired Humidity- Mode

1. Press MODE to select the desired humidity setting.

2. Choose Auto Dry, Continuous or Manual Set.

• AUTO DRY: The dehumidifier will operate in dry mode only. The Fan Speed is set automatically. The Desired Humidity is set to 50% automatically.
• CONTINUOUS: The dehumidifier will operated continuously. The fan speed can be adjusted. The desired humidity can not be adjusted.
• MANUAL SET: The dehumidifier will operate at the selected fan speed to be set humidity level. If the humidity level of the room is higher than the desired humidity setting, the compressor will turn on. If the humidity level of the room is lower than the desired humidity setting, the compressor will turn off, as well as the fan

Note

The de-icing function will turn off the compressor if a low temperature condition occurs. When the de-icer senses the correct operating temperature, the compressor will cycle back on. Some freezing is normal when dehumidifiers are used at low temperatures.

Empty Bucket Light

If this light is on, the fan and the compressor will stop running. This light indicates that you need to check:

• If the bucket is full, empty and re-install bucket.
• If the bucket is not in position, remove the bucket and re-install it. Make sure the bucket fits all the way into the dehumidifier and the bucket light is off, or duhumidifier will not run.

Draining the Dehumidifier

Option 1 Bucket Draining

If a floor drain is not available, or you do not plan to run your dehumidifier continuously, you may want to simply empty the bucket.

1.Grasp the bucket sides to slide out bucket.

2. Lift the bucket up by the handle.

3.Pour water into a sink or tub.

4. Fold down the handle and reinstall the bucket.

IMPORTANT:

If the Empty Bucket light comes on, the dehumidifier will not operate. The bucket may need to be emptied or re-installed.

NOTE:

• If the water bucket is removed immediately after turning off the dehumidifier, the water remaining in the heat exchanger may drip inside the water bucket storage area.
• Remove the water with a soft cloth.
• While cleaning, do not touch the water level float.
• Clean the water bucket once a week during use.
• If the ambient temperature is low, there is less moisture in the air for the product to remove.
• Unplug the product before removing the water bucket. If the bucket is removed while the product is operating, the compressor will stop.

Option 2 Gravity Draining

If you plan to run your dehumidifier continuously, you can choose direct draining by attaching a garden hose to the unit.

1. Turn off the dehumidifier and unplug the power supply cord.
2. Uncover the connector cover on the side of the unit.

3.Remove bucket.

4. Attach a garden hose to the drain hose connector on the inside of the dehumidifier. Securely attach the hose to be sure there is no water leak.

Note

• The garden hose sold separately.
• The connection is designed for North American garden hoses only.

5.Place the other end of garden hose into a floor drain. Check to see that the hose lies flat and is in the drain. Make sure the draining end of the hose is on a lower level than the hose connection to the dehumidifier. The hose should not be kinked or pinched.

6.Reinstall bucket.

Normal Sounds

When your dehumidifier is operating normally, you may hear sounds such as:

• Compressor sounds, which may be loud.
• Air movement from the fan.
• Clicking sounds when the dehumidifier or compressor turns on and off, and when the Automatic shut-off Switch is working.

DEGUMIDIFIER CARE

Your new dehumidifier is designed to give you many years of dependable service. This section explains how to clean and care for your dehumidifier. To avoid damage to the compressor, never store or ship the appliance upside down or sideways.

Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean filter helps remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important for best operating efficiency. Check the filter every two weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.

1. Turn off the dehumidifier.
2. Remove the air intake grill.
3. Take out the air filter

4. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the air filter if the air filter is dirty, wash it in warm water with a mild detergent.

5. Reinstall the air filter and the air intake grill.

6. Turn on the dehumidifier.

Cleaning the Dehumidifier

Exterior

1. Turn off the dehumidifier and unplug the power supply cord.
2. Dust the surface of the unit with a soft cloth or the dusting attachment of your vaccum cleaner.

Water Bucket

Every few weeks, rinse the inside of the water bucket with a mild detergent to avoid growth of mold, mildew and bacteria.

Water level float

The dehumidifier's water bucket has a water level float. Do not damage or remove the bucket’s water level float. If the float is not properly in place, the Empty Bucket light will turn on, preventing operation, and could result in leaking.

NOTE: Be sure the float is snapped correctly in place

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Before calling for service, try the suggestions below.

Dehumidifier will not run

• Is the dehumidifier turned on? Turn on the dehumidifier.
• Is the power cord plugged into a grounded three-prong outlet? Plug into a grounded three-prong outlet. See “Electrical Requirements” on page 5.
• Has a housedhold fuse blown or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. See “Electrical Requirements” on page 5.
• Is the bucket installed properly? Reinstall the bucket so that it fits all the way into the dehumidifier.
• Does the bucket need to be emptied? Empty the bucket.
• Is the water level float in place? Remove the bucket. Make sure the float is snapped in place. Reinstall the bucket.
